It's over

Well the good news is, it's over. The bad news is my mom was pretty upset. Overall, I guess it went as well as could be expected, but she's already been calling all over town again and has decided that she's going to get herself another lawyer to try and appeal again. It's just going to be more heartache for her, so I hope for everyone's sake she just moves on to something else. Coming here to visit should help, and she seems pretty open to the idea. She said she could only stay for a few days, but we'll see when she gets here if we can stretch that out, right now the tickets are for a little over 2 weeks. I think once she gets here she'll be ok, but if we have to, I guess we could change them.

The judge did award her a certain amount of money per week, so that should help give her some of her independence back. She really doesn't have the money to spend, but it will make her feel better so I'm actually glad it happened. I spoke with her on the phone 3x already today, and she's been crying each time. It's really hard to hear your own mother on the phone like that, but I know she has a right to be upset, I'd be upset too. Hopefully she'll get busy doing something in the house and some of the frustration will go away. I'm going to call her again tonight and let the boys talk to her, that might help a little. Guess that's it for now.
